The JSONObject interface has the method getDouble():Double. The type Double is however not present in WebDSL and conversion to Float does not exist.

We should probably provide our own wrapper for JSONObject which declares getFloat():Float.

An idea for a workaround is to declare Entity attributes as Float and use JSONObject method getString():String followed by parseFloat(), eg:


json.getString(“reallyFloat”).parseFloat();
